Ore. mayor poses in underwear, loses job

Posted: Feb 27, 2008 08:55 AM

ARLINGTON, Ore. (AP) - The mayor of an Oregon town who once stripped to her underwear and posed on a fire truck has been stripped of her office.

Voters in this town of about 500 voted narrowly Monday to recall Carmen Kontur-Gronquist. The tally was 142-139. City officials said the recall is effective Tuesday.

Kontur-Gronquist said the pictures of her in black bra and panties were taken for use in a contest about fitness, but a relative posted them on MySpace in hopes it would improve the social life of the single mother.

They predated her election, but she said she saw no reason to take them off the popular Web site once elected three years ago. Later, she closed access to them.

Opponents said it wasn't fitting for the mayor to be so depicted. They said they also disagreed with her on issues about water and the local golf course.

[oneHeero]

:lol

I heard about this awhile ago. I think it was on 60 minutes. Although back then she was just being asked to step down.

edit- beaten

 

[speculawyer]

Was she posting to Neogaf?

 

[Outlaw]

[FordStang]

So it's forbidden to actually walk around in lingerie, but I don't see a problem. This picture doesn't show anything more than your average picture of someone at the beach of the swimming pool. I'll never understand American politics.

 

[Dark Octave]

Yeah I saw this on Dr. Phi...umm...some show...

Anyway, I heard she did very good things for that city. She was a good mayor. That should have spoken for itself. As long as she doesn't walk around like that on the regular, what's the problem?

 

[Skellig Gra]

To be fair, she handled this all wrong. She could have blamed her idiot relative for posting the pics and then had them removed immediately. Problem solved.

 

[SUPREME1]

I'd hit it.

Spoiler

It'd be my civic duty.

 

[coldvein]

fakey boobs?

 

[Skellig Gra]

fakey boobs?

Have you ever seen breasts in real life?

 

[SpeedingUptoStop]

Holy shit, they shouldn't have fired her for that - shit, give her a seat in the senate, god damn!

 

[joeblack]

They should have taken advantage of her sexuality and let her use it to conquer neighboring towns.

You know how when you grab a woman's breast... it feels like... a bag of sand.

Fine sand.

Oregon = poseur liberals

True story!

 

[PhoenixDark]

Holy shit it looks like she could break someone's dick with her abs

 

[Jewbacca]

She can break mine.

 

[ConfusingJazz]

Man, if there was ever a definition of butterface...

 

[ShowDog]

I want some quotes to actually prove that she got fired for posing in her underwear on a fire truck. You didn't link a story, but it looks like you copied some stuff from the AP. Were people really outraged, or was she mostly voted out for water and golf course issues? Did the reporter bother attending the fucking town meeting to get at least one quote from an outraged citizen about the pictures? As a journalism student I'm inclined to be doubtful when I see stuff if there isn't actually any substance, just sensationalist titles.

That said, I can totally see this being true in a small town. But don't believe everything you read. And no, I've never been to Oregon, so I'm not trying to defend it.

Like I mentioned earlier I saw a report on this I think on 60 minutes. All the old people in the town were fucking pissed. They interviewed a ton of people. As to be expected, all the middle aged and younger women thought she was great and all the old cranks wanted her head on a platter.

 

[Imm0rt4l]

I'd give her teh cack.....teh cack

 

[Like the hat?]

she kind of looks like Karen Allen in the face to me.

 

[Dilbert]

"Kontur-Gronquist" sounds like some really dirty sexual practice.

 

[my name is ed]

I would fuck her til it was illegal

 

[rallaren]

I'd hit that any day of the week, for sure.


However..

fakey boobs?

 

[Skellig Gra]

Poor coldvein. I feel bad now. She is most likely wearing a padded bra, that is why her breasts look like that.

 

[NinjaFridge]

i approve of future hot female mayor's doing this from now on

 

[bafflewaffle]

:lol

 

[MrPing1000]

I'd follow her trail.

Well since mayors are supposed to be fat men with walrus mustaches, or have cheeseburgers for heads, an aversion to seeing such a demographic in women's underwear is only natural.

Man, is posting sexy pics of yourself online EVER a good idea?

Well if you want to be an actress/model/porn star. Not if you want to be in politics though.

The article says pictures . . . that is plural. Now get to work google-monkeys.

Holy shit she is more ripped than I ever can hope to be. She is getting vascular in the forearms. I am waiting for the trannysuprise.gif

 

[CENOBITE]

Too bad all that tanning is turning her skin to leather. Crying shame.
